A Closer Look at Our Firm

The law firm of Goldstein & Scopellite, PC was formed in 2002 by attorneys and founding members, Sheldon Goldstein and Michelle Scopellite.

The best legal option was to keep an open mind and let us do whatever was reasonable and legally necessary in order to resolve your legal issue in the most expeditious manner possible.
